Jasper Emmanuel Arcalas

The first hearing of the mega committee, to be led by the ways and means panel of Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, will be on Nov. 12 at 9 a.m. at the People's Center Building inside the Batasang Pambansa complex in Quezon City.

The hearing's main agenda is the deliberation of House Resolution 254 aimed at addressing rampant smuggling in the country's agricultural sector that perennially results in the spiraling cost of basic commodities and stoking inflation, to the detriment of consumers.
